FUNCINPEC is a monarchist conservative political party in Cambodia that was founded on 21 March 1981 by Prince Norodom Sihanouk in a bid to restore the monarchy following the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime during the Cambodian-Vietnamese War in 1979. FUNCINPEC fought against the Khmer Rouge, and in 1991 it became an official political party of Cambodia. The party's leader Norodom Ranariddh briefly served as President in 1997-1998 before Hun Sen and former Khmer Rouge guerrillas ousted him in a coup. By the 2010s, FUNCINPEC was still a major party, supporting Sihanoukism.
